What is Comprehensive Bike Insurance?
Jump Tag Icon

Comprehensive Bike Insurance is a 2 wheeler insurance plan that offers coverage to your bike against different types of damages, total loss, and theft. Here’s what you should know about the comprehensive policy for bikes.

At ACKO, we offer the mandatory Third-party Bike Insurance Policy, a standalone OD Cover, and the full-protection Comprehensive 2-wheeler Insurance Policy. 

If you have only taken mandatory bike insurance, you can upgrade to the Comprehensive Two wheeler Insurance Policy during bike insurance renewal.

Factors that affect Comprehensive Bike Insurance premium
Jump Tag Icon

Now that you know how to calculate the two-wheeler insurance premium, you must know how the premium is determined so that you can make informed decisions. Here are factors that determine the Comprehensive Two wheeler Insurance premium.

IDV or Insured Declared Value of your bike
Jump Tag Icon

The IDV is the approximate market value of your vehicle after considering depreciation. Your two-wheeler’s IDV is the maximum sum you receive in case of a total loss, or theft of the vehicle. Please note that the higher the IDV, the higher the premium.

Bike’s age
Jump Tag Icon

The age of your bike plays a significant role in determining the cost of Comprehensive Bike Insurance. A brand new scooter or bike has a higher premium compared to older ones (due to the depreciation factor, the premium for older bikes is lower).

Make/model/variant of your bike
Jump Tag Icon

Generally, expensive and high-end bikes attract a higher bike insurance premium when compared to low-cost two-wheelers. Typically, high-end bikes have high maintenance and bike-part replacement costs, hence the insurance cost is higher for such bikes.

Registration location
Jump Tag Icon

The bike insurance premium for vehicles registered in a metropolitan city or high-traffic area is higher. However, the premium for bikes registered in a remote village or town is lower since the possibilities of road accidents are lower.

Manufactured year
Jump Tag Icon

The manufacturing year of your bike helps identify the bike’s age and the depreciation factor to determine the vehicle’s IDV, which reduces with time. Therefore, older bikes have lower insurance premiums than brand new bikes.

Policy tenure
Jump Tag Icon

By opting for the multi-year bike insurance plan, the premium is generally lower compared to a single-year plan. A long-term bike insurance policy offers continuous insurance coverage for a long period.

No Claim Bonus (NCB)
Jump Tag Icon

When you don’t file any claims during the policy period, you receive a discount on the bike insurance renewal premium known as NCB in bike insurance. Hence, the premium can be reduced if you have accumulated an NCB.
